For an Expedient Hearing Test in Gramercy Park Come to MedRite Urgent Care

MedRite Urgent Care proudly offers hearing test services in Gramercy Park to residents and visitors alike. Whether you’re experiencing pain in your ears or you’re wondering why your hearing isn’t quite what it used to be, our board-certified physicians and certified technicians are professionally trained to provide you with the convenient, affordable healthcare that you deserve.

A hearing test is used to determine a person’s range of hearing, including sounds, pitches, and frequencies. In our state-of-the-art soundproof booth, you’ll wear headphones attached to the audiometer. Our technician will have you react to tones of controlled intensity that are delivered to one ear at a time, generally in random order with mixed levels of decibels (loudness) and Hertz (pitch). The test generally only takes 5-10 minutes but can last up to an hour for a detailed evaluation.

Most commonly used to detect hearing loss, a hearing test may also be performed in Gramercy Park to monitor a person’s hearing before and after surgery, to assess a person’s present hearing problems, or as part of a routine or occupational health exam. Early detection of hearing loss is essential to greatly improving a person’s prognosis. The most common causes of hearing degradation include:

Occupational hearing loss

Head or ear injury

Acoustic trauma

Inherited conditions, such as otosclerosis

Ruptured eardrum

Chronic ear infections

Diseases of the inner ear, including Ménière’s disease or an autoimmune disease

Birth defects

One of our licensed physicians will review your hearing test results and provide information on any corrective measures you may need, like a hearing aid, medical therapy, or surgery. They’ll also discuss preventive actions, such as using earplugs when exposed to loud noises like rock concerts or industrial work environments.
